The electrical function part which consists of is provided and comprised. When the knob (90) is rotated, the slider (110) is slidably contacted with the substrate (30) that rotates integrally with the knob (90) to change its electrical output, and at the same time, the elastic contact portion of the click spring (210) ( 211) elastically contacts the concave and convex surface (55) to produce a click feeling.

また例えば特許文献２の図１に示すように、ケース（８０）の下面に凹凸面を設ける代りに、ケース（８０）の下面に別途クリック係合部（７５ａ〜７５ｄ）を設けたクリック板（７０）を取り付ける構造のクリック機能付き電子部品もある。   For example, as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 2, instead of providing an uneven surface on the lower surface of the case (80), a click plate (75a to 75d) separately provided with a click engaging portion (75a to 75d) on the lower surface of the case (80). There is also an electronic component with a click function structured to attach 70).

そして上記各種構造のクリック機能付き電子部品には、さらなる薄型化が要求されているが、その要望に答えることはできなかった。また特許文献２のクリック板（７０）は硬質の金属板をプレス加工して製造されるので、製造工程が煩雑でコストの低減化が図れないという問題もあった。
特開平８−５５５４３号公報 特開２００２−１９０４０３号公報 Further, the electronic parts with click functions having various structures described above are required to be further thinned, but cannot meet the demand. Further, since the click plate (70) of Patent Document 2 is manufactured by pressing a hard metal plate, there is a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated and the cost cannot be reduced.

次にクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１の組立方法を説明する。まず予め回転体９０の摺動子設置部９８に摺動子１００を設置し、その際回転体９０の各摺動子固定部９９を摺動子１００の各取付固定部１０３に挿入してその先端を熱かしめして固定しておく。またケース１５０のクリック当接面１５８にグリスを塗布しておく。そして操作つまみ２１０の開口部２１２にその下面側から押釦つまみ１８０の本体部１８１を挿入し、本体部１８１の上面を開口部２１２から操作つまみ２１０の上面側に露出させる。次に操作つまみ２１０の本体部２１１の下面に塞ぎ板１７０を設置してその下側にケース１５０を設置する。このときケース１５０の開口部１５５内に操作つまみ２１０の軸支部２１５が回動自在に挿入され、また操作つまみ２１０の側壁部２１３の内側にケース１５０の側壁部１５３が入り込む。   Next, a method for assembling the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function will be described. First, the slider 100 is installed in advance on the slider installation portion 98 of the rotating body 90. At that time, each slider fixing portion 99 of the rotating body 90 is inserted into each mounting fixing portion 103 of the slider 100, and Secure the tip with heat. Further, grease is applied to the click contact surface 158 of the case 150. Then, the main body 181 of the push button knob 180 is inserted into the opening 212 of the operation knob 210 from the lower surface side, and the upper surface of the main body 181 is exposed from the opening 212 to the upper surface side of the operation knob 210. Next, the closing plate 170 is installed on the lower surface of the main body 211 of the operation knob 210 and the case 150 is installed on the lower side thereof. At this time, the shaft support portion 215 of the operation knob 210 is rotatably inserted into the opening portion 155 of the case 150, and the side wall portion 153 of the case 150 enters inside the side wall portion 213 of the operation knob 210.

次にケース１５０の下面側の側壁部１５３内にクリックバネ１２０を挿入する。このとき押釦つまみ１８０の押圧部１８３はクリックバネ１２０の開口部１２５に挿通され、またクリックバネ１２０の基部１２１は操作つまみ２１０の軸支部２１５の下端面に当接し、その際操作つまみ２１０の一対の回転体係止部２１７はクリックバネ１２０の挿通部１２７に挿入され、同時に操作つまみ２１０の一対のクリックバネ固定部２１９はクリックバネ１２０の取付固定部１２９に挿入される。そして両クリックバネ固定部２１９の先端を熱かしめすることで操作つまみ２１０とクリックバネ１２０とをケース１５０を介して一体化する。これによってこのクリックバネ１２０（その基部１２１）だけに操作つまみ２１０のケース１５０からの抜け防止機能を兼用させている。このとき押釦つまみ１８０の本体部１８１は操作つまみ２１０の軸支部２１５の内部空間から抜け出ないように収納されている。そしてクリックバネ１２０の両クリック弾接部１３１はそれぞれケース１５０のクリック当接面１５８に弾接（当接）している。またこのとき操作つまみ２１０の一対の回転体係止部２１７はクリックバネ１２０の基部１２１の下方に突出している。また前記塞ぎ板１７０は操作つまみ２１０とケース１５０（その上面部１５１）の間に挟持されている。   Next, the click spring 120 is inserted into the side wall portion 153 on the lower surface side of the case 150. At this time, the pressing portion 183 of the push button knob 180 is inserted into the opening 125 of the click spring 120, and the base 121 of the click spring 120 contacts the lower end surface of the shaft support portion 215 of the operation knob 210. The rotating body locking portion 217 is inserted into the insertion portion 127 of the click spring 120, and at the same time, the pair of click spring fixing portions 219 of the operation knob 210 is inserted into the mounting fixing portion 129 of the click spring 120. Then, the operation knob 210 and the click spring 120 are integrated with each other via the case 150 by heat caulking the tips of both click spring fixing portions 219. As a result, only the click spring 120 (its base 121) has the function of preventing the operation knob 210 from coming off the case 150. At this time, the main body portion 181 of the push button knob 180 is stored so as not to come out of the internal space of the shaft support portion 215 of the operation knob 210. Both click elastic contact portions 131 of the click spring 120 are in elastic contact (contact) with the click contact surface 158 of the case 150, respectively. At this time, the pair of rotating body locking portions 217 of the operation knob 210 protrudes below the base portion 121 of the click spring 120. The closing plate 170 is sandwiched between the operation knob 210 and the case 150 (the upper surface portion 151).

次に前記摺動子１００を取り付けた回転体９０をクリックバネ１２０の下面側に設置する。このとき押釦つまみ１８０の押圧部１８３を回転体９０の開口部９１に挿通させると共に、クリックバネ１２０の下面側に突出している操作つまみ２１０の一対の回転体係止部２１７を回転体９０の挿入部９３に挿入する。なお回転体係止部２１７の先端は回転体９０の挿入部９３内に位置し、回転体９０の下面（摺動子設置部９８の面）からは突出していない。   Next, the rotating body 90 to which the slider 100 is attached is installed on the lower surface side of the click spring 120. At this time, the pressing portion 183 of the push button knob 180 is inserted into the opening 91 of the rotating body 90, and the pair of rotating body locking portions 217 of the operation knob 210 protruding to the lower surface side of the click spring 120 is inserted into the rotating body 90. Insert into part 93. Note that the distal end of the rotating body locking portion 217 is located in the insertion portion 93 of the rotating body 90 and does not protrude from the lower surface of the rotating body 90 (the surface of the slider installation portion 98).

次にフレキシブル回路基板３０の第１回路基板部３１をその下面（摺接パターン４１を設けた側の面）を上向きとした状態で取付台６０の上面に載置する。このとき取付台６０の各取付固定部６５と第１回路基板部３１の各挿通部３９の位置とを一致させておく。そしてこの第１回路基板部３１を設置した取付台６０を前記ケース１５０の下側に設置する。このとき押釦つまみ１８０の押圧部１８３を、その回り止め係合部１８７が回り止め６３に係合するように、開口部６２内に挿通し、押圧部１８３の下端を取付台６０の下面側に突出させる。そしてケース１５０の各取付台固定部１５７を第１回路基板部３１の各挿通部３９と取付台６０の各取付固定部６５とに挿通し、取付台６０の下面側に突出する取付台固定部１５７の先端を熱かしめする。これによって回転体９０に取り付けた摺動子１００の接点部１０７が第１回路基板部３１上の摺接パターン４１に弾接する。   Next, the first circuit board portion 31 of the flexible circuit board 30 is placed on the upper surface of the mounting base 60 with its lower surface (the surface on which the sliding contact pattern 41 is provided) facing upward. At this time, the positions of the mounting fixing portions 65 of the mounting base 60 and the insertion portions 39 of the first circuit board portion 31 are made to coincide with each other. The mounting base 60 on which the first circuit board portion 31 is installed is installed below the case 150. At this time, the pressing portion 183 of the push button knob 180 is inserted into the opening 62 so that the anti-rotation engaging portion 187 engages with the anti-rotation 63, and the lower end of the pressing portion 183 is placed on the lower surface side of the mounting base 60. Make it protrude. Then, each mounting base fixing portion 157 of the case 150 is inserted into each insertion portion 39 of the first circuit board portion 31 and each mounting fixing portion 65 of the mounting base 60, and the mounting base fixing portion protruding to the lower surface side of the mounting base 60. The tip of 157 is caulked. As a result, the contact portion 107 of the slider 100 attached to the rotating body 90 comes into elastic contact with the sliding contact pattern 41 on the first circuit board portion 31.

次にフレキシブル回路基板３０の連結部３５の部分を下方に折り返すことで、第２回路基板部３３を取付台６０の下面に配置し、さらに第２回路基板部３３の下面側に第２回路基板部３３と重なるように支持部材１０を設置する。このとき取付台６０の各係合片６７の係止部６９より先端側の部分を支持部材１０の各係合片取付部１３の係合片挿入部１５内にスナップイン係合によって挿入して取り付ける。このとき取付台６０の各押圧部７１はそれぞれ各周囲スイッチ４５の反転板４５ａ上に当接し、この状態で各係合片６７が各係合片挿入部１５の内周上辺に当接することで、取付台６０が支持部材１０によって揺動自在に支持された状態となる。なおこのとき押釦つまみ１８０の押圧部１８３の下端面も中央スイッチ４３の反転板４３ａ上に当接し、同時につば部１８５の上面は操作つまみ２１０の本体部２１１の下面に当接又は接近している。以上により図１に示すクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１が完成する。なお上記組立手順はその一例であり、他の各種異なる組立手順を用いてクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１を組み立てても良いことはいうまでもない。   Next, the second circuit board portion 33 is disposed on the lower surface of the mounting base 60 by folding back the portion of the connecting portion 35 of the flexible circuit board 30, and the second circuit board is further disposed on the lower surface side of the second circuit board portion 33. The support member 10 is installed so as to overlap the portion 33. At this time, the portion of the front end side of the engaging portion 67 of each engaging piece 67 of the mounting base 60 is inserted into the engaging piece inserting portion 15 of each engaging piece attaching portion 13 of the support member 10 by snap-in engagement. Install. At this time, each pressing portion 71 of the mounting base 60 abuts on the reversing plate 45a of each peripheral switch 45, and in this state, each engagement piece 67 abuts on the inner peripheral upper side of each engagement piece insertion portion 15. The mounting base 60 is supported by the support member 10 in a swingable manner. At this time, the lower end surface of the pressing portion 183 of the push button knob 180 is also in contact with the reversing plate 43a of the central switch 43. . Thus, the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function shown in FIG. 1 is completed. The above assembling procedure is an example, and it goes without saying that the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function may be assembled using various other different assembling procedures.

次にクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１の動作を説明する。まず操作つまみ２１０を回転すると、これと一体にクリックバネ１２０及び回転体９０及び摺動子１００が回転し、これによってクリックバネ１２０のクリック弾接部１３１がケース１５０のクリック係合穴１５９に弾接係合（離脱）してクリック感触を生じると共に、摺動子１００の接点部１０７が第１回路基板部３１の摺接パターン４１上を摺動して摺接パターン４１の電気的出力が変化する。   Next, the operation of the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function will be described. First, when the operation knob 210 is rotated, the click spring 120, the rotating body 90, and the slider 100 are rotated integrally with the operation knob 210, whereby the click elastic contact portion 131 of the click spring 120 is elastically received in the click engagement hole 159 of the case 150. The contact engagement (disengagement) causes a click feeling, and the contact portion 107 of the slider 100 slides on the sliding contact pattern 41 of the first circuit board portion 31 to change the electrical output of the sliding contact pattern 41. To do.

一方押釦つまみ１８０の本体部１８１の上面を押圧すると、押釦つまみ１８０が下降してその押圧部１８３が中央スイッチ４３の反転板４３ａを押圧してこれを反転し、これによって中央スイッチ４３がオンする。押釦つまみ１８０への押圧を解除すれば、反転板４３ａは元の形状に自動復帰し、押釦つまみ１８０は押し上げられて中央スイッチ４３はオフする。一方操作つまみ２１０の本体部２１１上面の、前記取付台６０の何れかの押圧部７１に対応する部分を下方向に押圧すると、取付台６０上に設置している各構成部品（ケース１５０や回転体９０や操作つまみ２１０等）が取付台６０と一体に押圧された方向に傾いて揺動し、下降した側の押圧部７１がこれに対向する周囲スイッチ４５の反転板４５ａを押圧してこれを反転してその周囲スイッチ４５をオンする。前記操作つまみ２１０への押圧を解除すれば、反転板４５ａの自動復帰力で取付台６０上の操作つまみ２１０を含む各構成部品が一体に元の位置に自動復帰し、周囲スイッチ４５はオフする。   On the other hand, when the upper surface of the main body 181 of the pushbutton knob 180 is pressed, the pushbutton knob 180 is lowered and the pressing portion 183 presses the reverse plate 43a of the central switch 43 to reverse it, thereby turning on the central switch 43. . When the push on the push button knob 180 is released, the reverse plate 43a automatically returns to its original shape, the push button knob 180 is pushed up, and the central switch 43 is turned off. On the other hand, when a portion corresponding to any pressing portion 71 of the mounting base 60 on the upper surface of the main body 211 of the operation knob 210 is pressed downward, each component (case 150 or rotation) installed on the mounting base 60 is pressed. The body 90, the operation knob 210, etc.) are tilted and swung in the direction of being pressed together with the mounting base 60, and the pressing portion 71 on the lowered side presses the reversing plate 45a of the peripheral switch 45 opposed thereto. And the surrounding switch 45 is turned on. When the pressure on the operation knob 210 is released, the components including the operation knob 210 on the mounting base 60 are automatically returned to their original positions by the automatic return force of the reversing plate 45a, and the surrounding switch 45 is turned off. .

このクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１を例えば携帯型端末装置等に用いた場合は、一例として操作つまみ２１０の回転操作によって所定の操作内容を順に携帯型端末装置の表示部に表示させ、操作つまみ２１０を揺動させる操作で前記表示させた操作内容の内の何れかを選択し、さらに押釦つまみ１８０を押圧する操作でこの選択した操作内容を確定する等して用いることができる。   For example, when the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function is used in a portable terminal device or the like, as an example, a predetermined operation content is sequentially displayed on the display unit of the portable terminal device by rotating the operation knob 210. Any one of the displayed operation contents can be selected by an operation of swinging the operation knob 210, and the selected operation contents can be confirmed by an operation of pressing the push button knob 180.

以上説明したように、クリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１は、ケース１５０と、ケース１５０の一方の面（上面）側に設置される操作つまみ２１０と、ケース１５０の他方の面（下面）側に設置され操作つまみ２１０の回転と共に回転する回転体９０と、回転体９０の回転によって電気的出力を変化する摺動子１００及び摺接パターン４１からなる電気的機能部とを具備し、ケース１５０と回転体９０の間に操作つまみ２１０の回転と共に回転するクリックバネ１２０を設置し、前記ケース１５０のグリスを塗布したクリック当接面１５８に設けたクリック係合穴１５９にクリックバネ１２０に設けたクリック弾接部１３１を係合させることによりクリック感触を生じさせる構造であるが、本発明においてはさらにケース１５０のクリック係合穴１５９を貫通孔で構成したので、ケース１５０の厚みを容易に薄くすることができる。つまりクリック係合穴１５９を凹部としないで貫通孔とすることで、容易にケース１５０の厚みを薄くすることができる。一方貫通孔でない凹状のクリック係合穴１５９であればクリック当接面１５８に塗布された潤滑のためのグリスがケース１５０の上部に漏れ出ることはないが、これを貫通孔とした場合はケース１５０の上部に漏れ出て、さらにケース１５０と操作つまみ２１０の間から外部に漏れ出てしまう恐れがある。しかしながらこのクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１では、クリック係合穴１５９を貫通孔にすると同時にケース１５０の操作つまみ２１０を設置する側の面にクリック係合穴１５９を塞ぐ塞ぎ板１７０を設置したので、クリック当接面１５８に塗布するグリスがケース１５０の操作つまみ２１０を設置する面側に漏れるのを防ぐことができる。このとき塞ぎ板１７０はグリスの漏れを防げば良いので強い強度は必要なく容易に薄く構成できる。つまりクリック係合穴１５９を凹部から貫通孔にすることによってケース１５０の厚みを薄くできる寸法の方が、塞ぎ板１７０によって厚くなる寸法よりも容易に大きくすることができるので、クリック機能付き電子部品１−１全体から見ればその厚みを薄型化することができる。また塞ぎ板１７０はクリック係合穴１５９を塞ぐだけで良いので形状が簡単であるばかりか、金属板のような硬い部材を用いる必要がないので、製造も容易である。従ってこのクリック機能付き電子部品１−１を容易に安価に製造できる。   As described above, the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function includes the case 150, the operation knob 210 installed on one surface (upper surface) side of the case 150, and the other surface (lower surface) of the case 150. A rotating body 90 which is installed on the side and rotates together with the rotation of the operation knob 210, and an electrical function unit including a slider 100 and a sliding contact pattern 41 which change an electrical output by the rotation of the rotating body 90, and a case A click spring 120 that rotates with the rotation of the operation knob 210 is installed between the rotating body 90 and the rotating body 90, and the click spring 120 is provided in the click engagement hole 159 provided in the click contact surface 158 coated with the grease of the case 150. However, in the present invention, the click of the case 150 is further clicked. Since the engaging hole 159 is constituted by through-holes, the thickness of the case 150 can be easily thinned. That is, the thickness of the case 150 can be easily reduced by using the click engagement hole 159 as a through-hole instead of a recess. On the other hand, in the case of the concave click engagement hole 159 that is not a through hole, the grease for lubrication applied to the click contact surface 158 does not leak to the upper part of the case 150. There is a risk of leaking to the upper part of 150 and further leaking from between the case 150 and the operation knob 210 to the outside. However, in the rotary electronic component 1-1 with the click function, the closing plate 170 that closes the click engagement hole 159 is installed on the surface of the case 150 where the operation knob 210 is installed at the same time as the click engagement hole 159 is made a through hole. Therefore, the grease applied to the click contact surface 158 can be prevented from leaking to the surface side where the operation knob 210 of the case 150 is installed. At this time, since the closing plate 170 only needs to prevent the leakage of grease, it is not necessary to have a strong strength and can be easily made thin. That is, the dimension that can reduce the thickness of the case 150 by changing the click engagement hole 159 from the concave portion to the through hole can be easily made larger than the dimension that is thickened by the closing plate 170. When viewed from the whole 1-1, the thickness can be reduced. Further, since the closing plate 170 only needs to close the click engagement hole 159, not only is the shape simple, but there is no need to use a hard member such as a metal plate, and thus the manufacturing is easy. Therefore, the electronic component 1-1 with a click function can be easily manufactured at low cost.

特にこのクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１の場合、塞ぎ板１７０をこの塞ぎ板１７０と操作つまみ２１０間の動摩擦係数の方が、ケース１５０と操作つまみ２１０間の動摩擦係数よりも小さくなる材質の表面の滑らかな合成樹脂板によって構成しているので、操作つまみ２１０の回転移動抵抗を小さくして操作つまみ２１０の回転移動をスムーズに行わせる機能を塞ぎ板１７０に兼用させることができる。また塞ぎ板１７０として合成樹脂板を用いたので、その薄型化及び加工が容易で、クリック機能付き電子部品１−１の薄型化及び低コスト化をより確実に図ることができる。   In particular, in the case of the rotary electronic component 1-1 with a click function, the material of the closing plate 170 having a smaller dynamic friction coefficient between the closing plate 170 and the operation knob 210 than the dynamic friction coefficient between the case 150 and the operation knob 210 is used. Therefore, the closing plate 170 can also be used for the function of reducing the rotational movement resistance of the operation knob 210 and smoothing the rotation movement of the operation knob 210. Further, since the synthetic resin plate is used as the closing plate 170, it is easy to reduce the thickness and process it, and it is possible to more reliably reduce the thickness and cost of the electronic component 1-1 with a click function.

またこのクリック機能付き回転式電子部品１−１の場合、さらにケース１５０を載置する取付台６０と、取付台６０を揺動自在に支持する支持部材１０と、取付台６０の揺動によって押圧される周囲スイッチ（押圧スイッチ）４５とを具備しているので、クリック機能付き電子部品１−１に揺動式電子部品の機能を一体化した多機能型の電子部品をコンパクトに構成することができる。   In the case of the rotary electronic component 1-1 with the click function, the mounting base 60 on which the case 150 is placed, the support member 10 that supports the mounting base 60 so as to be swingable, and the swinging of the mounting base 60 are pressed. Since the peripheral switch (press switch) 45 is provided, a multifunctional electronic component in which the function of the swinging electronic component is integrated with the electronic component with click function 1-1 can be configured in a compact manner. it can.

The slider 380 is made of an elastic metal plate, and has a pair of sliding contact brushes 383 that protrude from the outer periphery of the base 381 formed in a substantially rectangular flat plate shape and are bent to the lower surface side of the base 381. ing. The base 381 is attached to the lower surface of the slider installation portion 365 by attachment means (not shown).

クリックバネ４００は弾性金属板を略矩形に形成した基部４０１と、基部４０１の外周の左右両側の１８０°対向する位置から突出する一対のアーム部４０３とを一体に形成して構成されている。基部４０１の中央（前記スライド移動体３６０の挿入部３６１に対向する位置）には上下に貫通する挿通部４０５が設けられ、また挿通部４０５の両側（前記スライド移動体３６０の収納凹部３６３に対向する位置）には上下に貫通する取付固定部４０７が設けられている。一対のアーム部４０３はその一端が基部４０１の外周の所定位置に連結されており、両アーム部４０３の所定位置には上方向に向かって突出するように屈曲してなるクリック弾接部４０９が設けられている。   The click spring 400 is configured by integrally forming a base 401 formed of an elastic metal plate in a substantially rectangular shape and a pair of arms 403 protruding from 180 ° opposing positions on the left and right sides of the outer periphery of the base 401. An insertion portion 405 penetrating vertically is provided at the center of the base portion 401 (a position facing the insertion portion 361 of the slide moving body 360), and both sides of the insertion portion 405 (facing the storage recess 363 of the slide moving body 360). The mounting fixing part 407 penetrating vertically is provided at the position where the movement is performed. One end of the pair of arm portions 403 is connected to a predetermined position on the outer periphery of the base portion 401, and a click elastic contact portion 409 that is bent so as to protrude upward is formed at a predetermined position of both arm portions 403. Is provided.

ケース４４０は合成樹脂（この例ではＰＣ樹脂）を成形して構成されており、略矩形平板状の上面部４４１と、上面部４４１の外周から下方に突出してなる側壁部４４３とを具備している。上面部４４１の中央には下記する操作つまみ４８０のガイド部４８５を図８の紙面奥行方向にスライド自在に挿入する上下に貫通する矩形状の開口部４４５を有している。また上面部４４１の裏面は、クリックバネ４００のクリック弾接部４０９が当接するクリック当接面４１２となっている。クリック当接面４１２にはグリスが塗布されている。また上面部４４１の開口部４４５と側壁部４４３の間の面（クリック当接面４１２中）には、前記クリックバネ４００のクリック弾接部４０９を係合・弾接させる多数の上下に貫通する貫通孔からなるクリック係合穴４１１が紙面奥行方向に直線状に等間隔に設けられている。   The case 440 is formed by molding a synthetic resin (PC resin in this example), and includes a substantially rectangular flat plate upper surface portion 441 and a side wall portion 443 that protrudes downward from the outer periphery of the upper surface portion 441. Yes. At the center of the upper surface portion 441, there is a rectangular opening portion 445 that penetrates up and down to insert a guide portion 485 of an operation knob 480 described below so as to be slidable in the depth direction of FIG. The back surface of the upper surface portion 441 is a click contact surface 412 with which the click elastic contact portion 409 of the click spring 400 contacts. Grease is applied to the click contact surface 412. Further, a surface (in the click contact surface 412) between the opening portion 445 and the side wall portion 443 of the upper surface portion 441 penetrates in many vertical directions that engage and elastically contact the click elastic contact portion 409 of the click spring 400. Click engagement holes 411 made of through holes are provided at equal intervals in a straight line in the depth direction of the drawing.

塞ぎ板４７０は、フッ素樹脂（この例ではＰＴＦＥ樹脂）等の摺動性に優れた成形樹脂製の薄形状部材（合成樹脂板）であり、ケース４４０の上面部４４１の外形よりも小さいが全てのクリック係合穴４１１を覆う大きさの矩形状に形成され、その中央に前記ケース４４０の開口部４４５と略同一内径の開口部４７１を設けて構成されている。この塞ぎ板４７０は、ケース４４０の貫通するクリック係合穴４１１を塞ぐと同時に、その両面が滑らかで摺動製に優れており、ケース４４０と操作つまみ４８０間に挟持されてケース４４０に対する操作つまみ４８０の移動抵抗が小さくスライド摺動性を向上するものである。即ちこの塞ぎ板４７０は、この塞ぎ板４７０と操作つまみ４８０間の動摩擦係数の方が、ケース４４０と操作つまみ４８０間の動摩擦係数よりも小さくなる材質の合成樹脂板によって構成されている。   The closing plate 470 is a thin-shaped member (synthetic resin plate) made of molded resin that is excellent in slidability such as fluororesin (in this example, PTFE resin), and is smaller than the outer shape of the upper surface portion 441 of the case 440. The click engagement hole 411 is formed in a rectangular shape, and an opening 471 having substantially the same inner diameter as the opening 445 of the case 440 is provided at the center thereof. The closing plate 470 closes the click engagement hole 411 through which the case 440 passes, and at the same time, both surfaces are smooth and excellent in sliding. The closing plate 470 is sandwiched between the case 440 and the operation knob 480 and is operated with respect to the case 440. The movement resistance of 480 is small and the slide slidability is improved. That is, the closing plate 470 is formed of a synthetic resin plate made of a material in which the dynamic friction coefficient between the closing plate 470 and the operation knob 480 is smaller than the dynamic friction coefficient between the case 440 and the operation knob 480.

操作つまみ４８０は合成樹脂（この例ではＡＢＳ樹脂）の成形品であり、略矩形状の本体部４８１の下面中央から下方向に向かってスライド移動体係止部４８３を突設し、またスライド移動体係止部４８３の左右両側から下方向に向かってガイド部４８５を突設して構成されている。ガイド部４８５の下端辺の所定位置（前記クリックバネ４００の各取付固定部４０７に対向する位置）には下方向に向かって円柱状の小突起からなるクリックバネ固定部４８７が突設している。   The operation knob 480 is a molded product of synthetic resin (ABS resin in this example), and a slide moving body locking portion 483 is provided projecting downward from the center of the lower surface of the substantially rectangular main body portion 481 and is also slid. A guide portion 485 is provided so as to project downward from the left and right sides of the body locking portion 483. A click spring fixing portion 487 made of a small cylindrical protrusion protrudes downward at a predetermined position on the lower end side of the guide portion 485 (a position facing each mounting fixing portion 407 of the click spring 400). .

そしてクリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３を組み立てるには、まず予めケース４４０のクリック当接面４１２にグリスを塗布しておく。そして図８に示すように、操作つまみ４８０の本体部４８１の下側に塞ぎ板４７０を載置したケース４４０を設置し、その際塞ぎ板４７０の開口部４７１とケース４４０の開口部４４５内に操作つまみ４８０のガイド部４８５をスライド移動自在に挿入し、次にケース４４０のクリック当接面４１２側にクリックバネ４００を設置してクリックバネ４００の挿通部４０５に操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動体係止部４８３を挿入してその下面側に突出すると同時にクリックバネ４００の取付固定部４０７に操作つまみ４８０のクリックバネ固定部４８７を挿入し、クリックバネ固定部４８７の先端を熱かしめすることでケース４４０及び塞ぎ板４７０を介して操作つまみ４８０とクリックバネ４００とを一体化する。このときクリックバネ４００の基部４０１は操作つまみ４８０のガイド部４８５の下端面に当接し、同時にクリックバネ４００の両クリック弾接部４０９はケース４４０のクリック当接面４１２に弾接する。そして摺動子３８０を取り付けたスライド移動体３６０をクリックバネ４００の下面側に設置する。このときクリックバネ４００の下面側に突出している操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動体係止部４８３をスライド移動体３６０の挿入部３６１に挿入する。なおスライド移動体係止部４８３の先端はスライド移動体３６０の挿入部３６１内に位置し、スライド移動体３６０の下面（摺動子設置部３６５の面）に突出していない。そしてフレキシブル回路基板３３０と支持部材３１０とをケース４４０の側壁部４４３の下端面に設置して図示しない取付手段でこれら各部材間を一体に固定すれば、クリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３の組み立てが完了する。   In order to assemble the slide-type electronic component 1-3 with a click function, grease is first applied to the click contact surface 412 of the case 440 in advance. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, a case 440 on which a closing plate 470 is placed is installed below the main body 481 of the operation knob 480, and at that time, the opening 471 of the closing plate 470 and the opening 445 of the case 440 are placed inside. The guide portion 485 of the operation knob 480 is slidably inserted, then the click spring 400 is installed on the click contact surface 412 side of the case 440, and the slide moving body of the operation knob 480 is inserted into the insertion portion 405 of the click spring 400. A case is formed by inserting the click spring fixing portion 487 of the operation knob 480 into the mounting fixing portion 407 of the click spring 400 and inserting the click spring fixing portion 487 into heat by caulking the tip of the click spring fixing portion 487 at the same time as the stop portion 483 is inserted and protruded to the lower surface side. The operation knob 480 and the click spring 400 are integrated through the 440 and the closing plate 470. At this time, the base 401 of the click spring 400 abuts on the lower end surface of the guide portion 485 of the operation knob 480, and at the same time, both click elastic contact portions 409 of the click spring 400 elastically contact the click contact surface 412 of the case 440. Then, the slide moving body 360 to which the slider 380 is attached is installed on the lower surface side of the click spring 400. At this time, the slide moving body locking portion 483 of the operation knob 480 protruding to the lower surface side of the click spring 400 is inserted into the insertion portion 361 of the slide moving body 360. Note that the tip of the slide moving body locking portion 483 is located in the insertion portion 361 of the slide moving body 360 and does not protrude from the lower surface of the slide moving body 360 (the surface of the slider installation portion 365). Then, if the flexible circuit board 330 and the support member 310 are installed on the lower end surface of the side wall portion 443 of the case 440 and these members are integrally fixed by an attaching means (not shown), a sliding electronic component with a click function 1-3 Is completed.

そして操作つまみ４８０をスライド移動すると、これと一体にクリックバネ４００及びスライド移動体３６０及び摺動子３８０がスライド移動し、これによってクリックバネ４００のクリック弾接部４０９がケース４４０のクリック係合穴４１１に弾接係合（離脱）してクリック感触が生じると共に、摺動子３８０の摺接ブラシ３８３が摺接パターン３３３上を摺動して摺接パターン３３３の電気的出力を変化する。   When the operation knob 480 is slid, the click spring 400, the slide moving body 360, and the slider 380 are slid together with the operation knob 480. As a result, the click elastic contact portion 409 of the click spring 400 is moved to the click engagement hole of the case 440. 411 is elastically engaged (disengaged) to generate a click feeling, and the sliding contact brush 383 of the slider 380 slides on the sliding contact pattern 333 to change the electrical output of the sliding contact pattern 333.

以上説明したように、クリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３は、ケース４４０と、ケース４４０の一方の面側に設置される操作つまみ４８０と、ケース４４０の他方の面側に設置され操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動と共にスライド移動するスライド移動体３６０と、スライド移動体３６０のスライド移動によって電気的出力を変化する摺動子３８０及び摺接パターン３３３からなる電気的機能部とを具備し、ケース４４０とスライド移動体３６０の間に操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動と共にスライド移動してクリック感触を生じるクリックバネ４００を設置し、前記ケース４４０のグリスを塗布したクリック当接面４１２に設けたクリック係合穴４１１にクリックバネ４００に設けたクリック弾接部４０９を係合させることによりクリック感触を生じさせる構造であるが、本発明においてはケース４４０のクリック係合穴４１１を貫通孔で構成したので、ケース４４０の厚みを容易に薄くすることができる。つまりクリック係合穴４１１を凹部としないで貫通孔とすることで、容易にケース４４０の厚みを薄くすることができる。一方貫通孔でない凹状のクリック係合穴４１１であればクリック当接面４１２に塗布された潤滑のためのグリスがケース４４０の上部に漏れ出ることはないが、これを貫通孔とした場合はケース４４０の上部に漏れ出てしまう恐れがある。しかしながらこのクリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３では、クリック係合穴４１１を貫通孔にすると同時にケース４４０の操作つまみ４８０を設置する側の面にクリック係合穴４１１を塞ぐ塞ぎ板４７０を設置したので、クリック当接面４１２に塗布するグリスがケース４４０の操作つまみ４８０を設置する面側に漏れるのを防ぐことができる。このとき塞ぎ板４７０はグリスの漏れを防げば良いので強い強度は必要なく容易に薄く構成できる。つまりクリック係合穴４１１を凹部から貫通孔にすることによってケース４４０の厚みを薄くできる寸法の方が、塞ぎ板４７０によって厚くなる寸法よりも容易に大きくすることができるので、クリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３全体から見ればその厚みを薄型化することができる。また塞ぎ板４７０はクリック係合穴４１１を塞ぐだけで良いので形状が簡単であるばかりか、金属板のような硬い部材を用いる必要がないので、製造も容易である。従ってこのクリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３を容易に安価に製造できる。   As described above, the sliding electronic component 1-3 with a click function includes the case 440, the operation knob 480 installed on one surface side of the case 440, and the operation knob installed on the other surface side of the case 440. A slide moving body 360 that slides together with the slide movement of 480, and an electrical function unit including a slider 380 and a sliding contact pattern 333 that change an electrical output by the slide movement of the slide moving body 360, and a case 440 A click spring 400 is installed between the slide moving body 360 and the slide moving body 360 to cause a click feeling when the operation knob 480 is slid, and a click engagement hole provided in the click contact surface 412 coated with grease of the case 440. By engaging the click elastic contact portion 409 provided on the click spring 400 with 411 Is a structure to cause Rick feel, in the present invention since it is configured click engaging hole 411 of the case 440 in the through hole, it is possible to easily reduce the thickness of the case 440. That is, the thickness of the case 440 can be easily reduced by using the click engagement hole 411 as a through hole instead of a recess. On the other hand, in the case of the concave click engagement hole 411 that is not a through hole, the grease for lubrication applied to the click contact surface 412 does not leak to the upper part of the case 440. There is a risk of leaking to the top of 440. However, in this slide-type electronic component with click function 1-3, the click engagement hole 411 is made a through hole, and at the same time, a closing plate 470 for closing the click engagement hole 411 is installed on the surface of the case 440 where the operation knob 480 is installed. Therefore, the grease applied to the click contact surface 412 can be prevented from leaking to the surface side where the operation knob 480 of the case 440 is installed. At this time, since the closing plate 470 only has to prevent leakage of grease, it is not necessary to have strong strength and can be easily made thin. That is, the dimension that can reduce the thickness of the case 440 by changing the click engagement hole 411 from the recessed portion to the through hole can be easily made larger than the dimension that is thickened by the closing plate 470. When viewed from the entirety of the electronic component 1-3, the thickness can be reduced. Further, since the closing plate 470 only needs to close the click engagement hole 411, the shape is simple, and since it is not necessary to use a hard member such as a metal plate, it is easy to manufacture. Therefore, the sliding electronic component 1-3 with a click function can be easily manufactured at low cost.

特にこのクリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３の場合、塞ぎ板４７０をこの塞ぎ板４７０と操作つまみ４８０間の動摩擦係数の方が、ケース４４０と操作つまみ４８０間の動摩擦係数よりも小さくなる材質の表面の滑らかな合成樹脂板によって構成しているので、操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動抵抗を小さくして操作つまみ４８０のスライド移動をスムーズに行わせる機能を塞ぎ板４７０に兼用させることができる。また塞ぎ板４７０として合成樹脂板を用いたので、その薄型化及び加工が容易で、クリック機能付きスライド式電子部品１−３の薄型化及び低コスト化をより確実に図ることができる。   In particular, in the case of the sliding electronic component 1-3 with the click function, the material of the closing plate 470 is smaller in the dynamic friction coefficient between the closing plate 470 and the operation knob 480 than the dynamic friction coefficient between the case 440 and the operation knob 480. Therefore, the blocking plate 470 can also be used as a function of reducing the sliding movement resistance of the operation knob 480 and smoothly moving the operation knob 480. Further, since the synthetic resin plate is used as the closing plate 470, it is easy to reduce the thickness and process it, and it is possible to more surely reduce the thickness and cost of the sliding electronic component 1-3 with a click function.
